England Under-21 international Ings was a key component of
Burnley's promotion-winning campaign in 2013-14, scoring 20 league
goals as the Lancashire club finished second in the
Championship.

Ings has hit form in recent weeks for Dyche's men, scoring four
times in his last five Premier League appearances as Burnley have
taken seven points from their last three outings.

The striker's performances have led some to suggest he could be
in line for a move away from Turf Moor in January, but Dyche
preferred to focus on the qualities of the whole squad.

"It's not just about Ingsy," he said. "He's started scoring and
gets the headlines and we take great value in that.

"He's a good young player. He will obviously improve from the
challenge upon us, probably more so in a team like us, as it's not
always easy.

"Strike-play becomes very important. Not just scoring goals but
the other side of it. Getting hold of the ball, dealing with the
ball, keeping possession, making different runs and movements, he's
learning all of that.

"But there are other people who do a lot of work to support the
situation and they are improving as well.

"Whoever it may be, we're used to that. We believe in the people
we have, we believe at working at it, it is improving and the
bigger picture and that's to keep getting wins."

Burnley take on Newcastle United at home on Tuesday, in what
will be Dyche's 100th game in charge of the club.
